HIV/AIDS Task Force Created in Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh City Council voted Tuesday to establish an HIV/AIDS task force. The Pittsburgh HIV/AIDS Commission will work to raise awareness of the disease, which no longer receives as much publicity as it has in the past.

The legislation creating the panel was introduced by Council member Corey O’Connor; he said the city and Allegheny County should work to coordinate education and treatment efforts, as well as to involve the business and academic communities in policy discussions.

The Friends of AIDS Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
